Ready for football ~

My daughter loves football and her favorite team is the, Houston Texans . . . she walked in with her new outfit today and ready for football season to begin! She is also team mother for our six year old grandson's football team . . . the Patriots . . . getting him started early.

Easter Ranunculus ~

On Easter morning, I made breakfast instead of a dinner this year . . . when my daughter and grandchildren walked in the door, they had this gorgeous bouquet of pink Ranunculus.  This photo I took does not do them justice by any means, so, I am posting an up-close photo below also.

A gift of the heart ~

A gift of the heart ~ This framed photo of my precious daughter and I, and the Bible verse, 1 Corinthians 13 (the inspiration for my previous post here) is one of my most precious treasures. My dear sister-in-law, Honor, gave this to us shortly after my daughter's wedding in 2002. If you want to know the power and meaning of unconditional love...that would be Honor. She is not only my sister-in-law, but my sister-of-the heart. We have known each other since I was 15 years old...that's a long time ago! We just chatted and cried together, and I thought it would be perfect to share this on Valentine's Day. She loved the idea.
Thank you Honor, for your love, friendship, sisterhood, and unconditional support that you so unselfishly give to me always...I love you.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Love, Laugh and Live ~

My daughter gave me these cute little mini vases...I have yet to find the just right flower/plant I want in them.
They sit on a shelf in my kitchen...a daily reminder to do all.

This is not a black and white photo...the vases are white and my shelf is black! But I do like how it came out as if it were a black and white photo.
